I'm still trying to gather my thoughts, as my heart, broken and then healed but forever changed, is still reeling from the impact of this amazing story. "Catch the Sun" filled a void in me I didn't know existed.

The love story between Max and Ella is absolutely heartwarming. Meeting at seven years old and then reconnecting ten years later, their bond remains pure and innocent.

Both Ella and Max are incredibly well-developed characters. Their depth and authenticity make them feel real and relatable. Watching their love story unfold is nothing short of epic, providing a sense of connection that is deep, raw and completely satisfying.

I'm not going to lie thought, the plot twists are intense and hit <b>very</b> hard, making me want to cry, throw up, and applaud all at the same time. The author's ability to evoke such strong emotions is incredible. Reading this book felt like living another life, with my heart experiencing every moment, leaving me in the worst book hangover of my life the next morning.

"Catch the Sun" is a storytelling gem. Jennifer Hartmann's writing is not only engaging but also deeply satisfying, taking readers on a journey that feels like a complete experience. The author expertly handles trauma, treating her characters' struggles with care and giving them the time they need to grow and heal.
